Dear Release Managers,
Sorry to bother you yet again with matplotlib, but I inadvertently
introduced a grave bug in matplotlib in my last upload.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501578
It appears that I tested the _wrong_ package of the many debs I have
lying around on my machine, for which I apologise sincerely. The fix
is simple though, just build with gcc. That would, however, mean that
the package _will_ FTBFS on those buildds which have mismatched
versions of gcc and g++. As I have ranted already, I do not know of a
way to overcome this. I would therefore, like to remedy the situation
by reverting to the standard build process (which I tested, makes the
package work), and then re-request the buildd maintainers to update
their chroots.
Will you (again) please allow me to upload matplotlib to t-p-u? I
assure you that there will be no goof-ups from my side on this one!
:-)

Thanks, and apologies for my carelessness.
